Old woman, old woman.
Old woman, said 1,
Oh, whither, oh, whither, oh, whither so high!
To sweep the (obvrebs off tho skj.
And I'll be back again by and In."
It was so delieiously easy to lp non
nensls.'.l that day!
"Hut you'll eome haek, nuiitle, by and
by?" Theru was u toueh of anxiety in
the ignorant little voice.
"I will never get so very far away
front yon, my darling, my little mii'i
Veiim, my salvation!"
They had reached the front door of
(heir own home by this time. Ida
landed the child promptly over to old
Jlldo, who was her abject serf. Then she
turned towards the stairway alone.
"I have found out all I want to know,
Dido."
Dido looked into the illumined young
ffiuc before her with a new respect. She
had lifted the veil heavy with tho dust
of half a century.
"Well, my ehU'V"
I "Kubbish!" Ida snapped her lingers
airily. "I'm disgusted to think how
much veneration I have wasted on it all
these years. And. Dido, I am going to
have a plain talk with father to-day. I
wanted to know the whole truth tlrst.
After to-day you sha'n't hide our dear
little girl u way in that gloomy old wing
any longer. I'm going to sweep the
cobwebs out of father's brain next."
i "Not much hardship in the wing,"
Wild old Dido, not altogether relishing
the Iconoclastic spirit that was invading
Olenburnie. Things that had remained
solid so long must have some Inherent
Ktrength in them the vendetta among
them. Site was almost too old to adjust
herself to a livelier order of things.
' "l'teli you wliul It is, missy-"
Jltit Idii'H skirts were just disappear

Arranging the chess-men on flu board.
"Tic consulted" his wuteh before ac
knowledging her cheerful greeting:
"You are outgrowing tho old-fashioned
virtue of punctuality, Ida, I am
fcorry to sec."
"I nmoutgro.vingft great many qthcr
things, father, I nm glad to say, but I
hope I w ill alw ays retain due respect for
thutold-fushioned virtue, as you call it."
She took her place opposite him, but
made no motion towards availing her
r.clf of tho aceouled privilege of taking
the first move:
"I think our game, will have to wait
a little while this morning, father. I
-want to havo a long and a plain talk
with you mut have, in fact."
The sybarite leaned back In his chair
with u groan:
"Spare me! Are the mules dying
with epizootic? Send for a veterinary.
Are the gin-saws in needof sharpening'.'
fiend for u gin-w right."
Ida held up her hand imperiously;
"Father, 1 mn in no mood for your
cynical jests. I havo just come from
White Cliffs. Mrs. Lorlmer is very ill,
but I do not think sho will die. Her
pons do."
"Whlto Cliffs! You havo been to
White Cliffs, and have tho temerity to
acknowledge it to me','" Ills face wus
purple with ruge.
"1 have."
"And you nro not afraid of my
curse?"
"Not in the least."
There was such cool assurance, such
Indomitable courage, in her face and
Toice that her father felt suddenly self
convicted of foolish bluster. He shifted
his pobition restlessly, but remained si
lent. "Fuller," Rho said, l.i u sweet, gravo
voice, .itterly devoid of disrespect, "I
ivnnt you to listen to mo quietly. When
I get through, then .vlllbo time enough
for any vaporing you may feol inclined
to. Hut things must bo altered."
"You t:.ko advantage of my helpless
old nge v insult mo with impunity,
girl. It 1$ tho common lot of parents
to experience tho ingratitude of chll-
$&&
StfwS?'
dren, Hut go on; go on. I am listen
..iff."
It was poor old Lear's lament minus
its dignity and its provocation.
She let it pass without comment.
"One hears a great deal of what
children owe to their parents in this
world, father, but remarkably little of
what parents owo to their children.
Among other fixed moral laws of crea
tion Is the one that compels a child to
believe every word Its parent utters,
for no better remson than that it Is ut
tered by a parent.
"For twenty-one -rtyirs, father, or, at
least, ever since I have had sense
enough to imbibe hatred, I have been
told that it was my duty to hate any
Iiody, cveryliody, rather, nnd every
thing, connected with White Cliffs.
And I honestly tiled to do my duty in
that respect. I owed it to my father.
"When I met Dennis Lorlmer at tho
Pass that summer on myotic free holi
day and fell in love with him, 1 felt
like the worst of criminals nnd a
traitor to you. There was some mys
terious thing between him and tnc, be
tween me and my happiness, that I
IhiwciI before with vhe blindness of
fetichlsm. I drove my lover away from
me, with more resolution, perhaps, than
I would have exercised If he hail com
mitted a erimo la his own person. I
owed it to my father.
"When he came to me and told me
that ho was going into exile for my
mke, that his mother's vindictive de
termination to separate us had carried
her to the extent of telling him that he
must either vow never to try to see me. or
leave her presence then and there, never
to return again, I helped him to bow to
the flat which bore equally upon us
both. I told him we owed It to our
parents. And when you, hearing
through Cato's treachery that he was in
the summer house that day, sent him
your Insulting message, I almost de
spised him for the promptness and
meekness with w hioh he obeyed it. lie
went away, nnd In my heart I called
him a coward. I began to cultivate
hatred in my own person. Your leaven
was at work, you see, father. I owed
it to you to learn how to hate.
"Dennis came back to see me slv
months ago, father. He told me then
that he had been looking for Sibley.
Me could not wring this rusty old secret
from his mother. You would not nil-

inlt him to your presence, but If he
could llnd Sibley lie would face him,
man to man, and demand to know whnt
it was that stood between the houses of
White Cliffs, nnd Glonburnie."
The old sybarite leaned forward in
his chair in an eager attitude of atten
tion: "Well? nnd Sibley did he llnd htm?"
"It was not a dillloult thing to do, fa
ther. Sibley Is in New Orleanshas
been in a good business there for some
time now. You knew that?" Ho dropped
itis eye.s silently.
"It Is pitiable, father," sho went OS.
impetuously, "to see a parent urophls
eyes before a child a helpless girl ut
that! Hut was it right, father, to leave
me In ignorance all this time that Sib
ley had written to you, telling you if
you would relinquish your absurd vow,
und take your proper place n home, ho
would come back and help .you?"
"Sibley is an unruly, tempestuous fel
lowtroublesome. I did Y.ot want him."
"Not so easily trodvri under foot as
a girl. Hut he is eoinVug bach, father,
lie and Dennis are good friends. Dennis
faced him like a man. and Slblev had to
confess that ho was as ignorant as tho
rest of us. Hut out there in tho brcey,
fresh current of life that tlioso two
move in this poor, ragged old scare
crow that you anil the older Lorlmers
have been shaking ut each other all
these years tumbled all to pieces. It
had no substance of its own. I found
that out for myself to-day, father."
"How?" the old man asked, doggedly.
"I!y kneeling ut the bedside of a sick
woman and asking her to tell, me If, us
her islon grew larger and clearer, tho
fret and the worry of this whole miser
able business did not grow in
llultebluially small. She said it did.
And she told me all that 1 wanted to
know. I told her, father, that I had
promised Dennis to marry him and go
away with him, to make, a home for
ourselves, if he would find Sibley nnd
bring him back here to take this un
just burden from my shoulders. I told
her I should not feel comfortable at tho
thought that we had kept It all from
her. She had a right to know that we
were going to be married in suite of
her. In spite of you, in spite of the mis
erable old threadbare vend.tta. And I
camo in here to tell you the sumo, fa
ther." ,
"What did sho say?" Ho ignored tho
closing sentence.
"She put her arms around my neck.
Sho kissed me, father, and she called
mo daughter. Sho told mo to tell you
that thero would soon bo no ouo left
for you to hate to let tho old, worn-out
feud bo buried in her grave."

other woman, ever!"
"Father!"
His gray head had fallen forward on
his breast. His lids were closed and
impurpled. He stretched out his hands
blindly, gropingly. He was trying to
say something. Ida knelt close by the
side of his chair.
"My brnve, brave child! I am glad it
has ended so! (live Sibley my love
and Dennis."
It was so sudden, so utterly Incompre
hensible, that even when tho family
physician told her that In: had known
for years that her father must eventual
ly go in just Unit sudden fashion from
heart-failure, she found it hard to be
lieve that he was no longer thero nt
tflenburule, wasting his manhood, ig
noring his responsibilities, demanding
daily tribute of her, bodily, mentally
und morally.
"Thank (lod, he died with a bksslng
on his lips for u Lorlmer," she wrote to
Sibley, und sealed tho letter with a
black Impress of a martlet.
"I am sorry he did not know about
Sibley's child, Didm" she said that
night, reachiugout her hand for n touch
of the hard faithful one that had never
yet failed her. "1 meant to huvo told
him. Hut"
"You done it all for the best. It nln't
nil cleared up yet. And he had n mighty
turn for pesterln' about things, it
would have just given him n lot of ques
tions to ask which nobody but your
brother could answer."
"Sibley will be here In a day or two."
"Thank the Lord for all His mercies!"
"And Dennis too."
A wan mii ilo llltted over her white
face, and, closing her tired eyes, she fell
asleep with her lover's name on her lips
und her hand lying like a snow-flake in
black Dido's clasp.

He would like to have some sort of

Dick, who loved life in all Its warm

towards them. Thu surgeon greeted
her with: "You are to let this dam

ho pleases, Nurse Hamilton. Wo want
him kept quiet, but he Is more apt to
keep his leg still while his tongue
wags. Doubtless there Is a letter to bo

"Yes. And I want you to write it'"
Dick fired his answer to the surgeon .s
suggestion point-blank at tho nurse.
He had turned his head sldewlse to look
Into the clear steadfast eyes that had
such a strange fascination for him. If
he was not mistaken, that was thu very
thing sho was trying to prevent.
"You will write It for me, will you
not, Mrs. Hamilton?"
"Of course I will. See, I will bo back
presently with writing-materials."
When she returned with her portfolio
sho had on blue glasses.
"What did you do that for?" Dlel:

"For what?''
"For making a mess of things."
"You mean your leg? You should not

than I could manage to procure. I
would have been steaming up tho river
toward White Cliffs, instead of lying
heru with n broken leg, If I could have
found it."
s-"Hut you have plenty of time to get
well in," said Nurse Hamilton, with a
smile which Dick mentally pronounced
twice as sad as tears. "So my theory
holds good, after all. Now, then, won't
you please begin?"
"Oh, I say, please sit where I can look
nt you without making a corkscrew of
my neck."
Thus directly Importuned, Mrs. Ham
ilton moved n fraction more directly In
his line of vision.
"I wish you hadn't put those blinker
on, and I wish I could see you without
that cap; It's n regular disllguremcnt.
Anil you don't belong to them, nor they
to voit."
The clear white of Nurse Hiimllton's
smooth cheeks was suddenly stained a
vivid red. She did not look ut hint us
she administered her rebuke:
"You must not talk to me so. You
nre a silly, impertinent boy, and I shall
send another nurse to you. I will not
stuy."
She raised her hand with a quick ges
ture. Sho was too late. Her white
frilled cap was swaying triumphantly
on the ape of Dick's dating lingers.
"Yes. you will, Norrle. I knew 1
could not be mistaken. I knew your
voice. You couldn't put it in a mob
cap and blue goggles. Now then" he
Hung the cap upon the foot of his bed
"I have not made such an Infernal nies.'
of things nfter nil; for I have found
you."
She was looking at him with wide
eyes through a mist. He had called hei
"Norrle," and the ice crust that had
been forming over her chilled und lone
ly heart suddenly broke up under the
warmth of tho boy's caressing tones.
In the siv short months of her life ut
White Cliffs Dick had been her most ut
tached squire. This, the youngest of all
the Lorlmer boys, had been a special
favorite of hers, and she of his. HI'
"little sister," his "Madame John," and
his "Princess Norrle" had been pleasant
to remember. She had no grievance
here. She leaned toward him w 1th dewy
eyes.
"And having found me, what then,
Dick? Have you missed me?"
"Have I missed you? We have all
missed you. sister Nora." he said seri
ously. ".John! poor old Johnnie! he hns
aged under It tremendously. Lord, how
old and feeble he does look! Ho can't

"Hush! for dear pity's sake, hush! Ho
gave u death wound before he received
one."
It came from her in broken sobbing
gasps.
"To you?" Dick's incredulous eye.s
were upon her face.
"To me."
"Then he Is n whelp, nnd I'll tell him
so to his face as soon as I get home, if
he gives me u death-wound for it. I
will, by heavens, if ho was forty times
